Innovation in Automation

Shick Esteve is a complete ingredient automation system provider. From dry ingredients that are highly abrasive, high in fat or fragile, to liquid ingredients with process critical temperatures or high viscosity, we can handle it with one of our reliable solutions.

After its acquisition in 2016, Shick Solutions
was welcomed into the Breteche Industrie Group as one of their many
world-leading entities. Shick Solutions and Esteve
Process, who joined the group in 2011, then merged in August of 2017 to form
Shick Esteve – a global ingredient automation solution provider.

Now, the management team of Breteche Industrie
and their key financial partner IK Investment Partners have decided to signify their
next generation of growth by revealing a new name and identity: Linxis Group.

This decision stemmed from the desire to reflect
innovation and transformation from within the company to an outward audience. Thanks
to strategic acquisitions, customer-driven business development and the continued development of global leadership, Breteche has continued to thrive.

“Within a couple of decades
our group has attracted and gathered 7 world leaders in the food and health
industry, whose job it is to ensure the seamless integration of highly
specialized equipment for our customers”, adds Didier Soumet, Linxis Group CEO.

As Shick
Esteve’s parent company, Linxis Group will continue to serve as a unifying
resource. Their new branding will impact logos and marketing efforts across
individual entities of the group.
